| Description | In the article numerals of the Mongolic and Tungusic languages are collected, reconstructed and analyzed from the comparative point of view. We conclude, the Tungusic systems of numerals were enriched by both earlier and later loans from the Mongolic languages, occassionally also from so-called "Palaeo-Siberian" languages. The systems of numerals of the Mongolic languages are more stable, with exception of more rare borrowings of Chinese (or Tibetan) and Persian (or Pashto) origin, frequently serving parallelly besides the inherited forms on the basis of code-switching also systemized in the article. The historical context of the development of lexicon is commented in conclusion. |
